Introduction

This section contains a variety of instructions for post-install configuration and maintenance tasks of Pentaho software and the Pentaho Business Analytics (BA) Server. You can do these tasks in any order that you want, because the operation of the BA Server is not dependent on doing these tasks in order.

Prerequisites

Before you do any of these tasks, you must have installed the Pentaho software and configured your BA Server.

Expertise

The topics covered in this section are written for IT administrators who know where data is stored, how to connect to it, details about the computing environment, and how to use the command line interface for Windows or Linux.

Tools

We provide a web application, the User Console, which you use to perform many administration tasks.

Login Credentials

All of the tasks that use the User Console, Administration page, require that you log on to the User Console with the Pentaho administrator user name and password.
